If the TV has not been on recently it may take a while for info to load.

‍ ‍Streaming - If needed, log into your own streaming service (if you do not log out subsequent guests may utilize it) or bring your own streaming device (Roku, Apple TV, etc.)

·      Groceries, etc. - Safeway, City Market, Ace Hardware are on the North side of I-70 about 1 mile west of Lionshead.  To get there by the free bus take the “West Vail Express” from either the Lionshead Transportation Center (go to far east end of top parking level – just before exit gate – take down stairway to the left then back up to stopping area) or Vail Transportation Center - buses approx every 15 min

‍ ‍Vendettas - In Vail village - FABULOUS pizza

‍ ‍Les Delices de France - if you look out the front door to the condo, across the patio is the back door to this deli. They fix sandwiches, limited breakfast menu, and have gourmet cheeses, baguettes, apples, pastries, and other items that you can get to take up the mountain. I usually get the scrambled egg sandwich with bacon & swiss for breakfast. (The original owner, Danielle, was the uncle of Julia Mancuso, an olympic skiing GOLD medalist on the US ski team). I like to call ahead to order and then just walk over to pick up (970-476-1044).

·      Please limit the # of personal devices (cell phone, ipad, watch, computer) connected to the internet – too many will cause televisions to be cut off

·      Please be sure to UNLOCK the windows (lever on side) before attempting to open

·      Rental cars - Get the TURO app,“TURO.com” for a VRBO type rental for cars

·      Fishing Guide/Ski Instructor – recommend Howard Leavitt –  970-390-0119  Great guy and friend

·      For fly fishing - try Gore Creek that runs throughout the Valley.  Also Beaver Lake, Cross Creek, Eagle River, Roaring Fork, Colorado River, Homestake Creek, Grouse Lake, Turquoise Lake, Sylvan Lake.  A great packed (although PHD quality fish) fishing hole nearby – go to the skier bridge behind the condo and by the gondola – go under it and keep walking until you have gone under 2 more bridges (under one bridge, then bridge over creek, then under another) then past that is a “T” that goes over the creek again (don’t do that).  The “aquarium” is immediately past the “T”.

·      Instruction manuals - for the range, microwave, dishwasher, and JURA coffee maker are in the bottom drawer of cabinet by refrigerator

·      Please do not cut items or place hot pots/pans on the counter top – use the cutting boards and hot plates

·      Flashlight - in each bedroom – please be sure to leave it when you leave

·      If you need something special call the front desk (970-476-1350)

·      Refrigerator/freezer units - Please do not adjust the temperature settings in the refrigerator and freezer (Refrigerator 4, Freezer 2).  Refrigerator/freezer units are no longer made in this size.  Major renovation will be required if it goes out

·      Soap dispenser on kitchen sink – use funnel in kitchen drawer to fill with a more watery handsoap (like Dawn Powerwash Spray) – the thicker ones do not pump easily

·      Dishwasher - put soap packet in the door, shut the soap door and the dishwasher door, touch the “RESET” button on the far left, touch to select wash mode (heavy, auto, NORMAL, or speed 60), then touch “START” on far right

·      Toaster oven: If it will not turn on, check the ground-fault outlet on the back wall beside it to see if it has tripped.If so, it will turn off the power strip under the cabinet that the toaster oven and toaster plug into.  Press the button on the wall outlet to reset.

·      Parking - There should be an orange cone in the parking spot with “406” on it.  This is clearly labeled as a reserved spot for Vail 21-406.  Frequently unauthorized individuals will park in these reserved spots. To minimize the chance of this put the cone in the front portion of the parking spot if you plan to be gone for a while.

·      Hot Tub – On the 6th floor.  It should be open daily from10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.  The door code is/has been 5101 but management occasionally changes that – if 5101 doesn’t work call the front desk 970-476-1350.

·      Device charging - Each bedroom has an Apple charging station for phones/watches with a usb c connector for other devices (computer, headphones, etc.).

·      Garbage Chute – Down the walkway in a small room on your left past the elevator

·      Fireplace – has electric logs controlled by small remote (should be in coffee table drawer) or manually by buttons on front bottom of logs (has an electric heater as well as visual effect) and can be turned OFF by timer setting.  PLEASE turn Off after using.

·      Front Bedroom Shower – The section of the shower door between the tub and toilet tends to creep toward the foot of the tub allowing water to spray on the wall beside the toilet.  Please try to keep it forward to prevent this.

‍ ‍Coffee Maker - The power button to turn it on is on the top - rear right hand corner. It will turn off automatically. The clear water chamber on the side can be removed for filling by simply giving it a “twist” and lifting upward. Fill to just below the overflow cutouts with the drinking water faucet - not the main sink faucet. Add whole beans to the main chamber as needed. The front has 4 buttons. The first is for programming and no need - hopefully - to push it. The second is for “espresso” and again no need to press it. The third - with the large coffee cup - is for coffee and is the one you press once for coffee. It only gives about a half cup of coffee so that you can refill frequently and your coffee stays warm. the fourth button is to select your coffee strength - 1 bean, 2 beans (stronger), 3 beans (strongest), or using the ground coffee input (on the top). There are “light up” icons on the front panel. The one on the far left is always lit as we don’t use the filter since we use the already filtered R/O water from the drinking water faucet. The next tells you that you need to add water (shows water drops in a tube) and the next (has an arrow coming ou the bottom) means that you need to empty the coffee grounds. Empty the grounds daily (and when the icon lights up) and rinse the trays out daily (simply slide the tray out forward). Occasionally the machine will instruct you to “CLEAN MACHINE” by lighting a star icon on the middle left of the front panel.. When it does this follow the instructions in the booklet on the coffee maker in the bottom drawer by the refrigerator. The cleaning and descaling tablets are also in that drawer.

If you prefer an old-style “Mr Coffee” there is one on the top shelf of the corner cabinet above and to the left of the sink!

‍ ‍Microwave - I usually just open the door by slightly pulling on the bottom right hand-notch and after shutting the door touch the lighted icon that says “Start/add 30 seconds” rather than do the programming. Than press “Cancel” when needed.
